First, he should have paid attention when Jerry started talking about his marriage problems. Also, I got too comfortable with not doing the spot checks every week or every other week," he says. Unless I'm eyeballing them, I can't tell if they're lying to me.

I wasn't getting responses to my ad, and he was a convenient body that seemed to meet the criteria. I bought it hook, line and sinker.

What types of bad behavior have you seen at your company? Fisher apparently had stolen the forklift from a nearby construction site and was still dragging peices of the fence under the forklift when he was stopped by police, according to a Shippensberg police news release.

After the squad car pulled up behind the forklift, Fisher jumped out of the vehicle and led the police on a short foot chase before being tackled by police officers. While being driven to the police station, Fisher allegedly told police he entered into a fenced in area of the construction site, climbed into the forklift, started it up and drove it away.

Besides DUI, Fisher was charged with theft, defiant trespassing, unauthorized use of a vehicle, criminal mischief, and reckless endangerment. Most jurisdictions have laws against driving a vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Those laws apply regardless of whether the vehicle is an automobile, truck or forklift.

People under the influence of alcohol or drugs can have their vision, judgement and balance impaired. Because forklifts are heavy machinery that can weigh thousands of pounds and have massive power and force, they require operators to always be in full control of their senses. Being around a drunk forklift driver is not a place you wanna be.

Kyo wa heiwa: "And why is it suspicion of drunken driving when there's a witness and the forklift driver admitted to it". What Japan lacks is a good "safety promotion video" on forklifts.

Of course I still keep a local copy of that unique timepiece too…lol.

Agreed, as I have seen injuries in a warehouse due to the carelessness of others. I have also seen forklift operators purposely drop loads so that the time to clean up the mess would extend into overtime, which was quite lucrative for them.
